Hello. I’m former Mayor of Philadelphia John F. Street for the new Apple 3G iPhone. The “3G” stands for “Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee!” Just a little joke.

Take Push Email: now when my lawyer needs to reach me about a subpoena or schedule a hearing, I get his email instantly. And with Push Calendar,......

Life is better on a Mac. Air is sweeter, food tastes better, and music sounds musicer. Some people (we’ll call them PC users) have a natural disgust for all things Apple—they disparage the products as being over hyped and overpriced; they leer at you from behind inferior laptops in coffeehouses; they roll their eyes in disgust as you casually check the internet on your iPhone, they mock your devotion to a collection of machines as......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. David Murray, who'd been set to star as Destro in the upcoming G.I. Joe movie, apparently had some troubles with his Visa, and couldn't make it into the States in time for the start of shooting. So now Chris Eccleston will get the role. Which is actually pretty cool.

I'm back from a two week stint in Texas, full of Mexican food and tequila and happy to be back with this guy and this guy. While I was home, Ross came to visit for a few days, and somehow, we got to talking about comfort food with Mamaist and Papaist. Surprisingly, it was a phrase that Papaist wasn't familiar with. "You know," I told him, "Foods you like to eat for comfort. When......

Good Search, an organization that has been around for a few years but somehow escaped our notice, will......

And just......

This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia.
